I've always sulked at the absence of Afrocentric apps - even App Annie refers to M-Pesa as "Vodafone M-Pesa Wallet" - if you track the android & iOS downloads. It's the same on Apptopia.

Microsoft's conspicuous mobile no-show... Xbox Live & consoles or pc can't beat mobile.

Considering this is lopsided report that excludes non-Google & -Apple downloads and non-mobile apps - plus Chinese market censorship - the app market is quite big. If you're an AR/MR/VR game developer 2018 is the $$ mint year. Expect the "Internet of Elephants" and such VR theme art to loom big... as entertainment goes virtual.

Wearables will outdo consoles in the hardware segment. I think FB/Oculus has poor strategy of big headgear that will loose badly to Apple watch. If Apple manages to extend the VR gaming aperture on the watch - they already have the camera - it'll be a no-brainer. The watch is the new mobile where calls & games are projected on the palm. FB seems to blindly copy Microsoft's blunders; in fact from HoloLens, Google Glass and Snaptacles we know intrusive headgear is unfashionable. Apple and Google will remain the big dogs.

Not that I know of.  Looks to be interesting.  I saw NVidia's Xavier trending.

Lots of AI - robots, drones, autonomous cars - it's a full candy store.

Investors are sometimes full of irrational exuberance. Faang stocks are a waste of resources.
